to prolong the life of the laptop by keeping the running temp down as much as practical.

I have a passive stand like this by another mfgr. but it is impractical to take with me when traveling. In those cases, I simply use anything that is handy and about 1" to 2.5" thick (paperback book, wallet, soap bar, etc.) to place under the back, bottom edge to prop it up to allow more air to circulate underneath the laptop. This should increase the convection flow of air, hopefully.

It's interesting that you were able to measure the temperature of your laptop, accurately. I will have to try that with my small, portable pocket IR indirect thermometer.

Interesting review with good documentation.

I agree that while it is highly unlikely that one would make something like this a necessity on trips whether business or pleasure. But I have a feeling or at lease want future laptops to have built-in like keyboards nowadays (the one's that fold in when not in use).

Anyways, thanks again.

I might have to look into this one, considering the cost. But the compatibility...?

Yes its interesting. It is compatible with laptops that have at least half an inch of space on either side of the keyboard. I wouldn't recommend it for anything else.
